Maxperson replied to the thread D&D General D&D Evolutions You Like and Dislike [+].In 5e maximum effectiveness = overkill. I've never felt pressured to go to 20, or even 18. Edit: I mean overkill on stat numbers. The...

This is a false equivalency. I was there for 2E into 3E into 4E into 5E. 4E was the only one the IP holder actively marketed against the...
